Uther finally decided to detach a force to support Quilboar, but there were not many manpower assigned. On the one hand, it was because Uther was not completely overwhelmed by Aaron persuaded, as the eldest among the first generation Paladin, Uther has always been relatively conservative in strategy. The current situation of unfamiliarity made him make a more stable choice.
On the other hand, it is also due to the terrain of Kalimdor. Unlike Eastern Kingdoms, all races in Kalimdor are relatively conservative, and no race has expanded its territory to half of Kalimdor. Therefore, the terrain of Kalimdor is more primitive, which is not conducive to movement if it is a large group of people.
In the end, Uther was handed over to Aaron to take to the south to support Quilboar. It was a Paladin team of three hundred people plus fifty mages. Such a force was like If used properly, it can also exert extraordinary power. The only problem is that mages are always delicate and frail, so they may be slow to travel, but Aaron's Dreadwake comes in handy at this time.
There are two roads to choose from from Azshara to the Barrens. One is to cross Southfury River to Ashenvale and then go south from the mountain path. The other is to go directly south, cross the valley where Orgrimmar has not yet been established, and then turn southwest to enter the Barrens.
Aaron thought about it and decided to choose the latter path, mainly because Alliance's large army had already begun to enter Ashenvale at this time, blocking up the small road that was not easy to walk in the first place.
The original Durotar area was full of brown-red rocks and exposed red land. Although it was close to the ocean and Southfury River, this area still showed the same style as the Barrens, which reminded all Alliance soldiers of the expulsion The scenes of Badlands Orcs experienced on the way - most of the Paladin brought by Aaron were veterans who had participated in World War II. This can be regarded as Uther's care for Aaron.
Aaron also saw off Chromie on the way. It was said that Bronze Dragonflight was hiring people now. When the news came to her, she had to leave because she was leaving in such a hurry. Chromie forgot to tell Aaron which area the demons landed in, so Aaron could only guess the enemy's movements based on the few words she said.
As a result, until Aaron took people over Southfury River and over Stranglethorn Vale, they could all see the Crossroads, but still no trace of the devil, not even a trace of the devil, so they could only continue southward under the scorching sunshine of the Barrens.
For the Alliance soldiers, they were Quel'Danas blowing the cold winter wind the day before, and now they have gone to a ghost place where it is as hot as summer all day long. Although the Paladin soldiers are adaptable and the mages can use spells to make themselves more comfortable, this drastic change in the environment still makes the soldiers feel very depressed.
Even Aaron was emotionally affected by the environment. After all, in this scorching temperature, he couldn't be happy anyway, but there was a guy beside him who seemed to be in a good mood - Onyxia.
Dustwallow Marsh, where Onyxia's dragon's nest is located, is just to the east of the southernmost point of the Barrens. Although the environmental gap between the two regions is too huge, at least the temperature is similar. For Black Dragonflight, the high temperature is not a problem, but it can make them more comfortable.
"Hey, Aaron, look over there, is it on fire?" Vereesa didn't like the hot and dry air of the Barrens very much, but from the moment she saw Onyxia, she decided that she could no longer let Aaron disappear from her sight, gritted her teeth and followed.
As a result, most of the time Vereesa stayed with the mages along the way, just to enjoy the air-conditioning created by their ice spells, and occasionally came out of the cabin to get some air. As a result, Vereesa saw the abnormal situation this time, while others were unaware of it.
In order to lead the way, Aaron had been advancing on the ground with the paladins. Apart from the mages, there were only a few paladins on the Terror who really couldn't stand the heat. No one paid attention to the situation in the distance - Onyxia had already discovered it, but she would not take the initiative to tell Aaron the news.
"That direction... is it Ratchet?" Aaron thought to himself that Gazlowe was unlucky enough. Last time Xavius summoned Naga to help dismantle Ratchet, but now something happened again?
Although he doesn't have much favorable impressions of Goblin, Aaron decided to check out the situation. Maybe Gazlowe knows the whereabouts of the devil? The result will not be equal to that. When they reached Ratchet, Aaron saw Ratchet shrouded in flames. Not far away, Gazlowe was jumping and cursing in the sea of fire.
After seeing Aaron, Gazlowe obviously recognized him, and his already ugly face became even more gloomy. After all, in Gazlowe's memory, Ratchet also met Aaron after his last accident, which made him so uncomfortable.
"Don't tell me that you came for those demons this time." Gazlowe did not wait for Aaron to come forward, and took the initiative to come to Aaron. He said to Aaron with a dark face, "Why do all your enemies have to fight against me?"
Aaron knew as soon as he heard the news about the demons that he had to ask Gazlowe, and hurriedly asked, "According to the information I got, didn't the demons land long ago? It seems to me that you were attacked not long ago."
"They landed a long time ago, who knew they would turn back again?" Gazlowe said bitterly.
The location where the demons first landed was still some distance away from Ratchet. Goblin, who had always been mainly engaged in business, saw that the demons had no intention of attacking Ratchet, so they didn't take it seriously at all. As a result, just one day later, a group of demons attacked Ratchet under the cover of night, stole a large amount of supplies stored by Ratchet, and set a fire in the city before leaving.
"I finally understand that there are some things that we can't just escape if we want to," Gazlowe said angrily, "Those bastards in the east dared to cooperate with the devil, and ended up tricking me. It's really..."
Realizing that he had made a mistake, Gazlowe immediately covered his mouth and looked at Aaron cautiously. "Did you hear that?"
Aaron nodded silently, and said that there were no reports of demons snatching ships from various human countries. How did they get the ships to go to sea? Aaron originally thought that the demons used local materials to make them, but he didn't expect that there was a group of Goblin who were helping behind the scenes.
"It's all the bad things done by those bastards, it has nothing to do with me." Gazlowe hurriedly explained that his Ratchet originally didn't have many people, and they were killed and injured a lot by demons. They were definitely no match for Aaron's team.
"Okay, I believe it has nothing to do with you, but others may not think so." Aaron pointed at the others and said to Gazlowe, "You have to show some sincerity if you want to prove your innocence, right?"
"All my Ratchet were burned!" Gazlowe screamed angrily, but looking at the sophisticated equipment and obviously unkind eyes of Paladin, his aura shrank immediately. "Okay, I know, I know, my people will join you, and I will give you all the goods that I finally saved. Is this okay with the head office?"
